While drafting a budget that makes everyone happy is pretty much impossible, there was one section of the 2017 Ontario budget that pleased Advocis CEO Greg Pollock. The head of Canada’s main advisory association welcomed the government’s commitment to work with regulators to ensure certain standards for the profession. “Advocis is fully supportive of initiatives that promote consumers’ welfare and best interest, as well as access to professional financial advice,” he said. This means tightening rules so financial planners cannot operate without regulatory oversight or professional proficiency requirements, a development Pollock believes is long overdue.
